A Very Curated Small Businesses Gift Guide
Perhaps it’s time to give your Amazon cart a breather and shop the small businesses who deserve your time and money more.
The specific person that we’re shopping for has a good sense of personal style and credits much of their social intelligence to weekly expenditures to Casa Magazines, lives for Bridgerton and relishes in memories and friendships made from design or art school. And it’s for the person who crafts leisurely, has sushi order memorized and could never take social media too seriously, which is why the last post on Instagram feed dates back to 2022. If you truly know this person, we’ve taken the time to shop for her/him/they.
While the big retailers H&M, Abercrombie, Shopbop and others basically pay to take up online space on majority of the holiday shopping features, it’s always good to know about smaller brands who are just as worthy of the spotlight. Thank you for choosing to shop and/or support these small businesses by clicking, sharing, engaging on social media. It means a lot.
Liis - I think people have slept on this fragrance brand, then I realized that I have been gatekeeping it. Not designed like most perfume bottles probably since one of the co-founders is an artist herself, while the other founder is a well-studied perfumer from Versailles, France.
